We are dedicated to providing an exceptional

patient experience through four key areas that make it easier for

women to take charge of their health.

(Continued from page 1) Showing local support – Support for the Women’s Center was included as part of Park Nicollet Foundation’s Annual Campaign. One hundred percent of the clinicians and staff from the St. Louis Park OBGYN site participated in support via donations or payroll deduction pledges. HealthPartners provided a dollar for dollar match! Finding philanthropic support from corporate partners – Our vision of providing necessary health services to women in need has really touched the hearts of corporations who have a history of giving back. Target and UnitedHealth Foundation led the way with an incredible campaign; “For You. For Them.” That promoted the importance of screening mammograms to employees and also provided support to women in need through our Mammo A Go Go Community Outreach Fund and for a research project to investigate barriers to mammograms in insured populations. Partnering with the health plans – We are meeting with our key partners from insurance companies to show how our plans for a health care navigator and care

coordinators can improve their members health and thus decrease the overall cost of care. We seek their investment in these important positions. Planning for the future – What we don’t accomplish in 2013 will give us goals for 2014. All great projects and worthy efforts require continuous nurturing along the way. That is a strength we have at Park Nicollet! The women we care for in our clinics and communities will benefit. And as we all know from our favorite quote from Kofi Annan, that benefit extends to their families and communities as well.

To those of you who have so generously given in support of this project, WE THANK YOU! As of this date, we have over $1.2 million dollars in donations and pledges! To those of you still considering if this project fits with your giving goals, we welcome any support that will fill your heart with joy. We count as one of our greatest blessings the opportunity to work at Park Nicollet and support this program through the Park Nicollet Foundation.

With gratitude,

Drs. Jan and Gregg Strathy

Donor Story:

“The Women’s Center will provide care for women of varying ages and cultural backgrounds access to exceptional care. The

ability the Center will have to promote health care specifically for women at one convenient location opens up a whole new concept of care. Community outreach services such as Mammo A-Go-Go, education scholarships and support groups will offer the women of our community a wide variety of services to choose from. I believe care specifically for women has been lacking in the health care system. The Women’s Center will provide access to all women, in all stages of their lives. I am grateful to have an opportunity to contribute to such a needed endeavor. I would like to thank the many individuals from Park Nicollet that made the Women’s Center a reality.”

Barb Degnan

Care: The Women’s Center will offer comprehensive services women want and need through a central facility with strong linkages and ease of passage to services across the entire Park Nicollet system.

Comfort: The patient experience is designed for your comfort with integrative services such as aromatherapy and massage to enhance wellness and reduce stress; complimentary beverages; and iPads and iPods for use during visits.

Convenience: The Women’s Center will offer healthcare designed for women’s busy lives with 19 preventive and specialty care services in one convenient location. Our comprehensive 4-in-1 visits will offer multiple preventive services in one coordinated appointment.

Community: The Women’s Center will be dedicated to outreach and advocacy for all women, no matter their ability to pay.

The month of October was filled with amazing pink activity. Our annual Be Pink campaign encourages women to be empowered in the fight against cancer by promoting the importance of early detection and raising funds to provide mammograms, co pay assistance and diagnostic services to women in need. Thank you to all the women who have shared their stories and journeys with breast cancer – thank you for being courageous and inspiring. More than $70,000 has been raised through Be Pink activities to support our patient programs and Mammo A-Go-Go Community Outreach Fund. Contributions enable us to serve women in need in their own communities through mobile mammography, eliminating transportation barriers and access to care.

Thank you to our Pink People! Hundreds of people in our local communities supported Be Pink this year by contributing, sharing their stories and encouraging others to get screened – we are grateful for you all!

Thank you to our Pink Partners who promoted Be Pink 2013! They decorated and lit their businesses pink, helped build awareness about screening mammograms, held events and provided financial and in-kind support to help women in need.
